Willy HUNTINGTON.
He Cannot be Cornered by the Pa
cific Commission.

cific Commission.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The members
of the Pacific railroad commission were
on hand at 10 O'Clock this morning. Mr..
Huntington was not. At 1920 he ap-
peared. Mr.. Huntington took the stand
and the examination into the different
letters sent to Cotton was again entered
upon. The first was in relation to hay
ing convinced certain senator from
Florada of the advantages of the South
ern Pacific road to the Gulf states. The
witness did not know whether it was
Senator Jones or Senator COnoyer he
referred to. Knew both senators per-
sOnaliy. The next was relative to hay-
ing California senator friendly to the
road.
Nothing could be extracted from Mr..
Huntington on this head except that A.
A. Sargent, whose name was mentioned,
would have been most admirable man
for the position. He was well known
and above suspicion. Following this
came a letter commenting upon the adj
visibility of purchasing Senator Jones'
tOf oNevada) railroad, Los Angeles 81
independence, SO as to induce him to
favor the Union Pacific and Northern
Pacific railroads sinking fund bill. He
bought the road, which cost $716, 900, for
100000.
JONES WAS HARD UP,
and witness knew 1t would make Jones
take a greater interest in the Pacific
roads if he took the other one off his
hands; he took it. Another letter
brought in Mr.. Huntingtons opinions
of socialism and the congress of 1878.
This is an agrarian camp. 1t is COM
posed of the worst body of men that ever
got together in the country"
do you recognize your sentiments in that

has been considerable influx of these an,
archists and socialists into public places.
They cannot make money themselves hon
estiy. but have remarked that So 900 is a
great deal to them, and they will do a lot for
less.'
Mr.. Huntington then entered into an
other explanation of how money could
be legitimately spent in influencing
congress. Mr.. Huntington knew moth
ing about the books of the Contract and
Finance company. He knew that after
building the Central Pacific the cont
pany's debt was big, and its assets

Private Wood Acquitted.

Special to the Globe
BISMARCK, Oak, Sept. 22.-The jury
in the Charles A. Wood murder case
after an absence of forty-two hours re-
turned verdict of not guilty this MORN
ing. Wood was private soldier sta
toned at Fort Buford. He shot and
killed George Fleury, a half-breed in
terpreter, in the fall of 1885. He was
tried. convicted and sentenced to death
in the spring of 1856. The president
granted stay and subsequently the SUI
preme court ordered new trial. Wood
admitted the killing. but claimed it was
done in self defense. The evidence add
duced was very similar to that of the
first trial, hence the verdict of acGuittal
occasions considerable surprise and
much comment. John Hollenback, of
this city, was defendants counsel in
both trials and United States Attorney
Garland was the prosecuting attorney.

Gen. Pryor Looks at Their Case
From a Legal StandnOint.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Gen. Roger A.
Pryor said last night that he could at
present give very little information in
regard to his plans. He has not yet
seen the record of the trial before Judge
Gary, which is very voluminous. s'0f

ever to do with the popular side of the

ton of sympathy with the anarchists or
their cause. l am retained simply as
lawyer who is to endeavor to induce the
supreme court to reverse the decision of
the Illinois court. Just what will
be the form of the appeal l can
not now say. but we shall attack the
constitutionality of the Illinois law re-
garding the construction of the jury.
This law has been in operation since
1874, and has not been passed upon by
the supreme court. The law of Illinois
relating to conspiracy will not enter
into our application" When questioned
in regard to the report that the appeal
would be laid before Justice Miller,
Gen. Prior said:

NEW YORK, Sept. s2.-The contro-
versy between the Chicago, Rock Island
d Pacific railroad and the Eastern trunk
lines with regard to payment of COM
missions by Western roads on Eastern
trunk line territory was terminated to-
day in favor of the Rock Island road.
The conclusion was reached when Gen
eral Eastern Passenger Agent A. B.
Farnsworth, Of the Rock Island road,
called upon General Passenger Agent
Farmer, of the Erie road, and requested
immediate decision as to the restoration
of Rock Island tickets to sale by Erie
agents. Mr.. Farmer, after consultation
with his management, issued orders to
all agents to commence sale tomorrow
and at the same time notified all roads
of the Eastern Trunk Line association
of his action. At once on receiving this
notice the New York Central, West
Shore and Baltimore & Ohio gave like
notice to their agents.

More Rate Cutting.

ST. Louis, Sept. 22.-The Ohio &
Mississippi railroad has some new re-
duction each day to interest the public.
Their latest action is a cutting of the
already low rate to Baltimore and Wash
lngton and return, making the charge
but S20.25, a cut of S5.15. The Bee line
has been announced as the object of the
attack, yet this rate Injuries no other
road but the Vandalia line. One of the
novel features of the fight is the ability
of scalpers to send passengers to Buff
falo for nothing and still make profit.
This is because the round trip rate is
So; the rate one way is $lS.25. The cut
rate is only issued at st. Louis, full fare
being demanded from Buffalo.

His Bride VIII BE an English
Hospital Nurse Of Good Family.
Special to the Globe.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 22.-The
fact leaked out to-day that Senator Haw-
ley's recent visit to this city was not en-
tirely connected with the business of
the constitutional centennial celebra-
ton. He came, it turns out, to wind up
a romance begun on his trip to Europe
last summer by proposing marriage
to Miss Edith Horner, first assistant
nurse in the city hospital. Miss Horner
was EN- route to visit her fathers cOun-
try place in England at the time, for,
despite her position, she is of a some
what swell English family. The dis
tinguished wid0wer spent large por-
ton of his vacation in his cOurtShip, and
when he returned found himself
again on the same steamship with
the pretty nurse. At his visit
here during the centennial week, when
he proposed and was accepted. The
senator's betrOthed has made during her
stay here great deal of talk. all of
which has been exceedingly favorable.
She is in the first place, of the best type
of becoming English beauty. She came
here three years ago with Miss Fisher, the
head of the city hospital, to reorganize
one of the most discreditable of Phila-
delphia's institutions. The two have
succeeded entirely in their work, de-
spite the out cries of the large '.clam"
element in Philadelphia, which was
enraged by the importation of foreign
nurses. Owing to her English rela-
tionS Miss Horner obtained from the
first an entree to the exclusive circles
of Philadelphia society, and caused a
good deal more talk by giving o'clock
teas at the hospital which is branch of
the almshouse,. Back of her American
experience there is, despite her youth,
an interesting story of service as nurse
in the Zulu and Egyptian wars.

ENORMOUS swINDLEs
Perpetrated by Connecticut
Business Man."


NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Sept. 22.-E. S.
Wheeler, the insolvent iron i'm
porter, whose recent failure with iabil-
tiles of s2,000,0O0 and actual assets of
less than S150,000 caused such Sensa-
ton in this city, was arrested this after
Noon, charged with getting money under
false pretences. The arrest was caused
By the Phoenix Bank of Hartford, which
discounted note of SABA for Wheeler
a few days before his failure. The note
was drawn by the James Wick COM
pany,fof Baltimore, in favor of Wheeler
and n Endorsed by him. The
Baltimore company was one of
Wheeler's alleged branch houses and
the draft was supposed to be in payment
for goods sold, but the Hartford people
a1leges that the Baltimore company had
no corporate existence, the company
being merely convenient decOy
through which Wheeler could float his
paper. Wheeler was taken to Hartford,
where he was at once arraigned and the
ease continued, Wheeler being held in
5000; bonds, which were furnished.
The Impression is spreading that the
creditors will realize but little Oh their
paper. The rumorS flying around are
to the effect that Wheeler's alleged
branch houses are merely figure heads
through which to raise money, the ale
cations being that the branches or bogus
firms would give Wheeler notes os-
tensibly for goods purchased, and that
Wheeler would indOrSe the notes. take
them to the banks, where being looked

visit to st. Paul for illustration. Leok-
ing at it in a purely selfish light, we
might think it would be more pleasurable
for the 1T5,0O0 people of this city to have
the opportunity to dress themselves out
in their best bib and tucker and go down
to the Ryan or the Exposition hall, or
wherever a reception may be held, aud
shake hands with our distinguished
guest and his admirable wife. But the
day devoted to st. Paul will be more
profitably spent by the presidential
party in looking around the city and
seeing for themselves the marvellous de-
veiopment of which they have heard so
much. 1t will be more profitable for
the president than wearing his arm out
in shaking hands with tens of thousands
of people, and it will certainly be more
profitable for us. And then there is an
other fact in yindication of the presi-
dents proposed action in this matter.
1t is the tender consideration he has
bestowed upon his wife. Just
think of the fatigue that Mrs.
CLEVELAND would have to endure if
compelled to undergo the continuous
strain of three weeks continuous travel
and public receptions. The poor woman
was really worn out by the three days
at Philadelphia last week. A three
weeks repetition of what she had to I'M
dergo at Philadelphia would be past all
physical endurance. And yet that is
just what would be inflicted upon her if
the citizens along the route of the pres
ident's proposed trip were permitted to
carry out their own programmes. And
then in addition to all these facts, there
is an appropriateness in making the oc-
casion one of the utmost simplicity. Mr..
CLEVELAND is the chief magistrate of a
republic, and not the ruler of a kingdom
or empire. He is not the master, but
the servant OF the people. And while
the great body of the people are not in
sensible of the dignity which attaches
to the station which he fills, nor are
they Indifferent to the personal honor
that is due to the individual who fills
the presidential chair at this time, the
national honor would be violated by any
display of flunkeyism. Mr.. CLEVELAND
appreciates this fact and Graves no
higher mark of distinction from his
countrymen than to be treated with
precisely the same civilties that would
be bestowed upon any other American
citizen.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 22.-Never

scription of 100000 to the Midland rail-
